Anxiety Group Show @ HVW8 Art and Design Gallery In Los Angeles
βAnxietyβ engages with the common suggestion that art is a reflection of society. Art can serve as an expressive platform for individuals, groups, as well as society as a whole, especially accessible when radical changes or impactful events occur. It is powerful enough to portray the current emotions of a society, exposing harsh and subtle truths, while encouraging a change for the better. The exhibition explores and addresses the idea of art as a vehicle to illustrate and illuminate events and experiences. βAnxietyβ addresses the unnerving tension of the strange climate of present day. Whether personal, political, economic, social, or geographical, itβs undeniably a strange moment on every macro and micro level. This show is an investigation of individual responses to a collective uneasiness. Anxiety Group Show will be on view until December 16, 2016 at HVW8 Art and Design Gallery at 661 N. Spaulding Ave. Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Wolfgang Tillmans Exhibition @ Regen Projects Gallery In Los Angeles
Regen Projects presents an exhibition of photographs by German artist Wolfgang Tillmans. For his seventh solo show at the gallery Tillmans brings together a broad selection of new and previously unseen work that spans the various themes, visual motifs, and processes developed over the course of his career. The exhibition revisits long-standing interests present in the artistβs oeuvre. A recent picture depicting a pair of black shorts draped on a banister references an early motif expressed in βgrey jeans over stairpost,β taken in 1991. Several startlingly pink large-scale abstract works from his signature Freischwimmer/Greifbar series are prominently affixed onto the gallery walls. Examples of Tillmansβs interest in exploring the fundamental qualities of the photographic process, these non lens-based photographs are the result of light exposed onto color photographic paper. Shown together these works challenge common perceptions of the real and question how photographic processes change our conception of the world around us. The exhibition will be on view until December 23, 2016 at Regen Projects in Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Iggy Pop Life Class by Jeremy Deller Opens Today @ The Brooklyn Museum in New York
In Iggy Pop Life Class, Turner Prizeβwinning artist Jeremy Deller used the traditional life drawing class to stage a performative event with Iggy Pop as model and subject. The exhibition, opening today at Brooklyn Museum, presents the resulting drawings along with works from historical collections, chosen by Deller, that depict the male body, examining shifting representations of masculinity throughout history. The fifty-three drawings included in the exhibition were created on February 21, 2016, during a one-day life drawing class, using Pop as the unexpected model. The class was held at the New York Academy of Art and included twenty-two artists drawn from New York Cityβs diverse communities, ranging in age from 19 to 80, with varying backgrounds and levels of education and experience. The class was led by artist and drawing professor Michael Grimaldi.
